Portrait is the most luring part of photography...Foe example flaws in an individual's face can be accentuated, if not cared for,, it is therefore, pertinent for the subject to be in good getup of MAKE-UP.

Posing in Portraits....(post no.148)

STRIKING A RIGHT POSE makes a great difference to the photograph.It is not only necessary to make the subject beautiful but also make body in its best look.

Double chin and long neck........Good illusion can be created of having a long neck just by lowering ur chin and leaning towards the camera....Here will be the opportunity to avoid the double chin.I TELL MY SITTERS TO HOLD THEIR BREATH WHILE SQUEEZING THE DOUBLE CHIN A BIT FOR FEW SECONDS to avoiding or minimizing the double chin.

SLIGHTLY foreshortening the figure: For an interesting angle, the photographer can stand on a slight higher place, may be a chair, and request his subject to look at him.Not only will it create a unique photograph but will once again hv the opportunity of reducing the double chin.and less seen the dark circle below the eyes and help make the subject appear thin.

HANDS ON HIPS: In order to avoid ur shoulders from looking a rounded appearance, ask ur subject to put his hands on his hips.......................................................................to continue...

The art of photography is all about light and exposure....LIGHT means the surroundings around you and exposure denote the use of Camera, may be of any kind,sorry, here film and digital compact, prosumer, or DSLRs.It is day light, with sun, clouds, shades under tree, verandah,shadow beside a wall.It is night with darkness but with lots of hopes in lighted areas anywhere,fireworks...the choice is urs to exploit above to the best in simple or pictorial terms...A little bit to remind you of finding out good angles, giving correct exposure with the source of light before you to avoid disappoints...Oh...no disappointments...You have to check easily on LCDs the result immediately and change settings accordingly for the best in front of your camera. Next there is no limitation in memory cards. With good number of memory cards with you, thousands of pictures can be shot. THERE is the best friend in COMPUTER to load and check, retain, delete,correct images as per your liking, storing them in CDs/DVDs....Having few prints hanging on your wall to let you know of your art.
